All comic guns should be either cylinders with holes on the end or rectangular prisms with holes on the end. None of this realistic gun poo poo.

I was such a Marvel Zombie back in my youth that I bought almost anything they published that made it to the Waldenbooks or newsstand at my local mall. I bought all 10 issues of Speedball as they came out and even I had to admit that book was hot garbage. Ditko’s art was horrific, and Roger Stern was phoning it in. That middle panel of Robbie saying “MY PARENTS DONT LOVE ME ANYMORE” might be the worst Ditko had drawn to that point. That whole series is ripe for this thread - this comic wouldn’t have flown in the silver age, let alone the late 80’s. Also maybe don’t name your star character after a coke/heroin mix at the tail end of the cocaine epidemic. And to top it all off, the letterer misspelled “prostitute”.

Cleretic posted:I believe it was 3-G where the writer by the end got really frustrated that they were writing a fairly dramatic story with who they wanted to be modern young adults, but the artist just refused to draw anything other than 'bland people in 70s-esque business fashion talking at each other'.

Personally my favorite part is how the eyes were clearly supposed to be closed in the last panel but someone decided to "fix" it.

I'm actually in the middle of a book about Vietnam veteran combat trauma, and it mentions incidents where soldiers survived seemingly impossibly deadly situations, such is this:Achilles in Vietnam posted:One veteran was struck in the flesh of his upper arm by a spent .50-caliber machine gun bullet. This heavy, high-velocity bullet, which can be lethal at a range of three thousand to four thousand yards, was projecting from his skin. He simply pulled it out, and the corpsman put on field dressing.

I guess if you only see bullets on tv or other comics maybe?

Transformers are high-tech. Clearly those are old rounds that have been adapted for use in a railgun or gravity-slingshot or the like.

Gah, I wish I remember what it was, there was a realistic artist drawing someone stopping/chopping bullets in half with their mind, but screwed up and drew the shells/jackets and everyone gave them poo poo because it was a splash page or cover and super obvious. John Cassaday? Bryan Hitch?

Kwyndig posted:Yeah comics artists, unless they had military experience, are not great at drawing real guns. But nobody's going to have a derringer these days, they're for serious nuts who want concealable firepower, not home defense enthusiasts like Narda here. She would want something small, but a Beretta would definitely fit her needs. I get that, it's more that I both sincerely couldn't make out what that was and feeling outright disbelief at her pulling that out and scaring someone off with what looks like a toy gun with almost no ammo in it. (I presume the writer imagined a standard piece of some kind and the artist had other ideas. Or he was drunk.)

It reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from the GW game Bloodbowl about Superstar player, Griff Oberwald, after he scored three touchdowns in his first professional game. quote:When Griff Oberwald first played for the Reikland Reavers, it was recorded that head coach, Helmut Zwimmer, said, "Zat boy is almost above average."

Those first few issues of Ghost Rider are nuts. All the convulsed storytelling of Heavy Claremont with all the 70s thrill of motorcycle stunt racing.

Ha ha the 60s comics had some of the most amazing dialogue when it comes to women. I wish I could find the issue but there is a panel where Sue says something like: "Oh I don't know what to say." and Reed replies something like "Good, women are for kissing not listening to." had me howling. Fantastic Four Annual #21 Didn't realise the Inhumans were catholic. Fantastic Four Annual #21 Excalibur #2 Wonder where she got that idea from.
